Day 12- Grein to Steyr

We had a bit of a delayed start this morning as the heavy rain overnight meant that we had to wait until we got our washing dried in the tumble drier before we set off.  the weather was much better today as we set off across the Danube on a great wee ferry, purpose built for taking bikes. (As long as you are able to reverse!)

This morning we followed the Danube cycle path again, through Wallsee for coffee and cake and then leaving the Danube at Enns where we had lunch in yet another beautiful old town square.  It is quite incredible just how many ancient and pristine towns and villages there are.

 We weren't sorry to leave the Danube, it is beautiful in places but the flat cycle paths get a bit wearing after a while.  after leaving the Donauradweg, we expected to have to do a bit more navigating to find our way through the best backroads, however this turned out not to be the case.  There was another way marked cycle path all the way to tonight's destination at Steyr so we just bowled along following the arrows on the signposts through a great mixture of cycle paths, backroads, dirt tracks and forest paths.

Today's trip was much more enjoyable than the last couple of days due to better weather, more interesting countryside and less wind! Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
